2026 Toyota
Crown

The 2026 Crown brings hybrid efficiency – offering up to 41 combined mpg – and performance, exclusively in all-wheel-drive (AWD). This luxury sedan presents plenty of upscale amenities, including standard heated and ventilated leather seats and an available panoramic fixed-glass roof. Drivers who want performance attributes from their gas-electric sedan should take note of the Platinum trim’s dynamic rear steering, adaptive variable suspension, and Hybrid MAX turbocharged engine, which cranks out 340 combined horsepower. Two-tone exteriors and the dark-themed Nightshade version provide a unique look for drivers seeking distinction. For the 2026 model year, the new Finish Line Red replaces Supersonic Red as a solid and two-toned option in the color lineup.

Like all new Toyotas, the 2026 Crown adds value with ToyotaCare no-cost maintenance, which covers two years or 25,000 miles of regular factory-scheduled maintenance (oil changes, tire rotations, and multipoint inspections) and two years (unlimited miles) of 24-hour roadside assistance.

Trims and Powertrain

The all-wheel drive (AWD) 2026 Crown comes in four trims: XLE, Limited, Nightshade, and Platinum. The XLE, Limited, and Nightshade get a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that joins forces with front and rear electric motors to yield 236 net combined horsepower. These three trims also have electronic on-demand AWD and an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (CVT). The Platinum pairs the front and rear electric motors with a Hybrid MAX 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine (264 horsepower, 332 lb.-ft. of torque), churning out a combined net 340 horsepower. The Hybrid MAX powertrain swaps the electronically controlled CVT for a 6-speed automatic transmission, and the drivetrain replaces the electronic on-demand AWD with full-time electronic AWD.

The three lower trims return 42 mpg city and 41 mpg highway, while the Platinum gets 29 city/32 highway mpg. The XLE, Limited, and Nightshade feature selectable eco, normal, sport, and EV drive modes, while the Platinum trades EV mode for rear comfort and custom drive modes. All trims are equipped with integrated regenerative braking, ventilated 12.9-inch front disc brakes, solid 12.5-inch rear disc brakes with a hydraulic brake booster, an independent MacPherson strut front suspension, and a multi-link rear suspension (both with stabilizer bars). The Platinum alone adds adaptive variable suspension and dynamic rear steering for the ultimate in responsive handling.
